Interestingly mentioned in a comment, and not actually, you know, announced – no more basic accounts. Brad (you remember Brad, right?) has some thoughts.

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Tuesday I went to the zoo again. We get a membership every year, because we want to support their rescue efforts, but we don’t really go very often. I got some pretty cool pictures this time – it was a nice, breezy morning. Here’s the rest of the pictures. School is going pretty well. I seem to be getting A’s on all my English essays, though I’m not sure exactly how. History is going well too. I dropped Spanish II though; I felt like I didn’t retain anything from…

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. W00T! My new Canon PowerShot SD1000 can take much better videos than the old HP PhotoSmart ever thought of taking. I finally managed to get a good video (as opposed to a lame, stupid video) and figured I’d better figure out YouTube Here’s the result: The original is much better, but I suppose that’s the difference between 233 MB and 15 MB.

OK, I’m out. From now on my sporadic blatherings will be on my WordPress ‘blog, and will be crossposted to my InsaneJournal. For those who would prefer to read on their LJ friends list rather than on a separate page, I’ve made LJ feeds for both my ‘blog, and my InsaneJournal. [Edit: Don’t bother with the IJ feed; it doesn’t work right. I’m fairly sure it’s on IJ’s end.] Just click the appropriate link to add it to your friends list. Theoretically, they should be identical. Theoretically. I’m not sure how often (or how well) LJ updates syndicated feeds. You…

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Last Thursday, Rob and I had the fantastic opportunity to go to Bracken Bat Cave and watch around 20 million bats emerge from their cave to go hunting. Of course, we didn’t see that many bats – we were told it takes almost all night for the entire colony to emerge. It was incredible. As we walked up to the area above the cave, we first noticed the stench of bat (and, apparently, beetle) guano. It wasn’t too bad, but fairly powerful. After the initial blast it wasn’t very…

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Wow. Fantastic. Heart-wrenching. Exhilarating. Satisfying. 759 pages; 7½ hours of reading. Over. Now to put my LJ reading list back together. :D (Don’t read comments if you haven’t finished the book – there may be spoilerish things mentioned.)

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was great! And speaking of Harry Potter, since there’s some spoiler hints even on CNN, it’s time for me to pull the plug. From /. – “Salon reports that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked four days before it hits bookstores. It turns out that someone with access to the American edition of the book has taken a photograph of every one of the pages and made them available via bittorrent. Publishers may well be quaking in their…
